Forking a CVS project

Good day everybody,

I'm a new disciple of GIT and eager to learn.

My current problem is, that I'd like to track an old CVS project and make my own fork via GIT. The CVS project in question is horde[1]. My first attempt looked like:

mkdir horde cd horde export CVSROOT=":pserver:cvsread@anoncvs.horde.org:/repository" git-cvsimport -v -C. .

But this did not work. I only got millions of lines like

WARNING: file /repository/horde/templates/index/frames_index.inc doesn't match 
strip_path /repository/CVSROOT/cfg.p. ignoring

So I imported each module separately:

MODULES="agora ansel chora ..."

for MODULE in $MODULES
do
    git-cvsimport -v -C$MODULE $MODULE
done

This took like 2 or 3 days and now I have one git repository for each module. But I'd rather have one big git repository containing all modules.

Could somebody give me a hint on how this could be achieved, please?

I also don't know CVS at all, because I started already with SVN. And I really don't want to learn CVS!

How do I keep track of the CVS repository after the import and merge the changes into my fork? Is there a way to not import the whole history, but to start my GIT repo with the current snapshot? Would that speed up the import?
